Principal DevOps Engineer

As a Principal DevOps Engineer, you will be a founding member of a team building our next major AI-driven platform. You will influence and help grow a codebase and engineering organization from the ground up, wearing multiple hats across the engineering organization. The team will be AI-first in two meaningful ways: using AI to drive engineering productivity and strong engineering discipline, and building a product that applies AI in genuinely innovative ways to problems that matter.

What You Will Do

Provide in-depth software engineering expertise in cloud architecture, design patterns, and programming. Implement core DevOps practices, including Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous integration, and automated deployments. Build and manage robust CI/CD workflows to automate full-lifecycle tasks and elevate developer productivity.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will have live customers on the platform and a thriving, growing team behind it—directly accelerating how customers bring life-saving products to market. You will have the opportunity to work on a new product within Veeva and influence the growth of a codebase and engineering organization from the ground up.
